How long does it take to receive an order for children's goods from a wholesaler?

As a modern retailer, even before the official launch of the children's store, you have decided that you will not waste time and strain your nerves sourcing for and delivering the items in the store by yourself. Instead, you've made the perfectly logical (and sensible) decision to trust a wholesaler who can load up your store quickly, easily, and with all needed goods. Your only worry is how to place the order and how long it might take for your order to arrive.

How to order children's goods from a wholesaler?

Choosing a wholesaler

Before you hastily order from the first wholesaler you find on the Internet, you need to be absolutely sure that this is your seller. So do not be in haste, rather, seek out a little more information about the company. Carefully look at the site of the merchant, see the products it offers and the conditions under which it offers them. If all checks out and you want to partner with this wholesaler of children's goods, then it's time to move on to the next step.

Registration

We live in a digital age and this allows you to order, buy and get everything you need from your store without having to meet in person with a retailer's representative. To place your order, what is required of you is to register as a merchant on the site of your prospective partner.

Registration is completely free and will not take more than a few minutes. Once you register, the wholesaler will do a quick check to make sure it all checks right with them before granting you permission to shop from their site.

Order application

If you have a valid registration you can start shopping. In other words, you just go in, look at the children's goods that are available and put in the basket all the items you want to have in your store. This concludes the so-called "Order Application".

As a registered retailer, you have the right to both browse (and shop) from the full list of available products and to buy in the quantities you need. There is no limit to the minimum and maximum number of children's items you can order.

Order confirmation

The order is confirmed by the wholesaler. The process includes reviewing your application, checking with the seller for availability and confirming that it has received and will fulfill your order. The seller confirms your order by e-mail, text message on a mobile phone or by phone call.

How long does it take to receive the order of children's goods from the wholesaler?

Every retailer that offers wholesale goods has its own internal regulations which are complied with, but in general, almost all retailers strive to deliver orders to their customers as soon as possible.

As a standard, the terms in which most retailers deliver children's goods are about ten days, if the ordered items are available on the site and in the retailer's warehouses. If they are not available, but you want to receive them, the delivery time is extended depending on whether the wholesaler has to deliver the items from a manufacturer in the country or abroad.

It is the responsibility of the wholesaler to notify you by e-mail or telephone call a few days in advance of exactly when you expect the order for children's goods that you have placed with him to arrive.

Who delivers the order?

In Bulgaria (and in most countries around the world), the delivery of goods is carried out mainly through courier companies. The couriers see to loading and delivery of the ordered goods to your specified address.

In other words, the moment the ordered items are delivered by the wholesaler to the courier, he assumes the responsibility to meet the delivery deadlines.

How are payments made between buyer and wholesaler?

Once you place an order for goods for your children's store to the retailer and he confirms it, It is considered that a contract of sale has been concluded between the two parties. Based on this contract, you have the obligation to pay for the goods either upon confirmation of the order by the buyer or with deferred payment (payment by bank transfer within the deadlines set between the two parties).

Problems that may arise and ways to overcome them

Delay in the delivery of the ordered goods

Failure to meet delivery deadlines is not a common problem, as wholesalers are extremely keen on dealing with their customers. But if such a problem still occurs, you should not get angry. Instead, you just need to contact the seller and request for an explanation.

If the delay is on the part of the seller, he will certainly give you adequate reasons for the problem, and in most case, give you a new delivery date, and in a large percentage of cases will give you an additional discount.

If the delay is not from him, but from the courier, again the seller will seek an explanation from the courier company he works with and will contact you to agree on another delivery date.

Return of purchased children's goods

If after receiving the delivery of the goods for children you find that there are items that do not match your order, you have the right to return the order within the time limits set in the contract with the seller (wholesaler). If you meet these deadlines, the merchant is obliged to accept the returned order and refund the amount or offer you an avenue of placing a new order at the value of the returned.

Assumption of warranty

When buying children's goods that are offered with a warranty period from the manufacturer, the seller is obliged to assume the warranty and provide service to repair the item. However, it is important to know that the wholesaler accepts the warranty only if you provide him with an original invoice and a receipt for the purchase of the defective item from him.
